Gems of Fruits
A Sermon on Self-Accountability
It is said that a man was sitting with the judge of Basra, "Iyas bin Mu'adh al-Muzani,"
and the man was backbiting about one of his brothers in Iyas's gathering...
Iyas turned to him, saying: "O, man... Did you invade Rome?"
He said: No!
Iyas said: Did you invade Sindh?
The man said: No!
Iyas said: Did you invade Turkey?
The man said: By God, no!
Iyas said: Glory be to God... All of these people were safe from you, but your brother was not safe from your tongue."
O God, purify our gatherings from saying what angers You, and save us from saying what does not concern us, and grant us to say what pleases You with us.
O God, bless our master Muhammad and all his family and companions
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you
